I have been searching everywhere for YEARS for this men’s choral piece. It is not in English so very difficult to search. I remember more of the song/lyrics but only have this 15 second clip from a rehearsal years ago for reference. Thanks for your consideration!
I have a song I'm working on that I would like to add a choral sounding bridge to. Initial research says to use the root ,the 3rd, and the 5th in the scale. For example, in Cmaj, that would be C, E, F. What more can I add to make it bigger? As I follow a very simple melody, do I just use similar pattern along the scale? i.e. for E, use E, G, B, for F use F, A,C, etc?
I have room for up to 5 harmonies.
Thanks to all
I’m part of a Gay men’s choir (TTBB - that’s a choir voice part thing not a reinvention of LGBT+ etc!) and I’m looking for inspiration.
I’m trying to put together ideas for a show at Christmas in 2027 but I want to make it somehow Jewish focused.
It could be only featuring songs by Jewish songwriters or it could be maybe throwing in Hanukah songs perhaps. They both feel really obvious though.
This is very early stage ideas gathering and I’m thinking that amongst our number in here there’s going to be some folks with some wonderfully creative ideas of what a Jewish Christmas seasonal programme could look like.
Yes it’s a Christmas show but that’s only because it’ll be staged around Christmas time.
It can be as camp or as serious as we like and if you’ve got ideas I’m going to be interested in hearing them!
One of my pet peeves on here is the word "arrangement" being used to mean "setting."
"Who can help me find this choral arrangement of Ave Maria?"
Arrangements are based off of previously existing music. You don't arrange a text. You set a text. If there had only ever been one Ave Maria melody, and all other versions were based off of it, then fine, you could have an "arrangement" of Ave Maria. Or, if you had already specified "I know it's the Schubert, but I don't know which Hal Leonard staff writer cranked out this SAB adaptation." (Spoiler: It was Russ Robinson. It's always Russ Robinson.)
Sorry for the rant, but I believe this problem starts with high school teachers and other directors either not knowing the difference or not explaining the difference to their choir students. Maybe I should post in r/choir instead, but it would get lost among the "listen to my voice and explain why didn't I make it into chamber chior [sic] this year?" posts.
Curious what your thoughts are on this high school chamber choir doing Sure on this shining night!
I recently moved here and was wondering if there is a good place to find church singing jobs. I'm an experienced professional church singer.
When I was in college (University of Redlands) around 2015, I was in the women’s choir group and we sang a beautiful arrangement of the text “There is no rose of such virtue” and I can’t find a recording of anybody else doing the same one. I remember there was piano accompaniment, and the final part of the piece had the last Aleluia cadence up to like a Bbm7 or something with the piano gently echoing the melody. Anybody know what I’m remembering?
Doing a concert of classic choral music throught the years from queer composers and looking for more from women queer composers, any recommendations?
I noticed that unlike the modern Baptist hymnals I grew up with, these 'have the classic format of:
"#(number) HYMN NAME"
above the SATB with the text in between the treble and bass staff. These are 1800's hymnals. but I dont know what is the format they follow or what relationship is between the text and the sheet music. They are the "HYMN AND TUNE BOOK FOR USE IN OLD School or Primitive Baptist Churches" 1886 and "THE BAPTIST HYMNAL FOR THE USE IN THE CHURCH AND HOME" 1883
A few months ago I had an album of medieval chants (possibly a single mass?) on repeat that I can’t find again!
I had found the album after watching a YouTube video (which, alas, I also can’t relocate) about two different recordings of the same well known set of songs (not being terribly religious, the Latin names of these songs didn’t stick around in my head).
What I HAVE retained is that one of the two albums (the one I’m now looking for) l was deliberately recorded either in Malta or Italy with a set of singers lacking academic training in medieval choir singing. The recording is full of ornamentation and little improvisational moments and has little to no other instrumentation.
Hoping my extremely vague recollection is enough for someone to help!!
Can anyone tell me the name of the ensemble and album of this recording. I know I ripped it from CD. Here is the recording:

As the title says, I’m on the hunt of a SSAA (or similar for female voices) arrangement of “And the shallow”. Does anyone know of any possible for purchase for our choir? 🙏🙏🤞
I am currently composing a neutered version of a choral for a client for his Guitar Quartet. I’m almost done, but as I was working the power went out, and now I can’t find the original PDF he sent for some reason. Here’s what I have completed so far, can someone please tell me which chorale it is, thank you!
There was such beautiful music performed at Harry and Meghan's wedding. Love e.g. this choral piece
